 SKP Skopje Airport Info & Guide


Skopje Airport

Where is Skopje Airport? SKP Skopje Airport (IATA: SKP, ICAO: LWSK) (Macedonian: Аеродром Скопје, Aerodrom Skopje), or Skopje "Alexander the Great" Airport (Macedonian: Аеродром Скопје „Aлександар Вeлики“, Aerodrom Skopje, "Aleksandar Veliki") is the largest and busiest international airport in the Republic of Macedonia. Located 17 kilometres (11 mi) southeast of the national capital, Skopje. The former MAT Macedonian Airlines used the airport as its hub.


In December 2006 the government of the Republic of Macedonia announced plans to rename the airport after Alexander the Great, sparking a renewed diplomatic spat with Greece, where both countries consider Alexander the Great as part of their own heritage. The new name is argued to create confusion with the already existing Kavala International Airport named "Megas Alexandros"- Alexander the Great, which lies in the neighboring Greek region of Macedonia.
